See Through Solar Cells
Fifty years inthe making, solar-power cells are still flat, rigid, and ugly. But new research shows how they could be made lightweight, flexible, and transparent. These innovations could expand solar-cell use to things like solar fabrics and power generating windows.

@Afrocanuk embed Thermocouples into to act as both a heat sink, and to generate more electric!
Or if solar clear …
Or if solar clear and transparent solar cell glass are used then more light can travel to behind and through the first stacked solar panel, because it is clear you can also make them thicker maybe up to a foot thick of solar cells window because light can travel to other solar cells if front cells are clear::Also If light(or electro enhanced light panels can put light in different places, directions for hidden solar cells in and out of corners and through tunnels can be usefull::
I invented a …
I invented a breakthrough source of energy, which contradicts the law of conservation of energy. I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which contradict the law of energy conservation. It will cost about $1200 to make a 6 kW generator in mass production. Value of the energy produced yearly about $5400. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents.

The 2 main …
The 2 main questions now are:
- What is the life expectancy? Because most people think they will last forever.
- What effect does heat build-up have on the power output? From what I’ve heard, the efficiency goes down.
We are all …
We are all concerned about the latest MP3 or IPhone. When will this come to market
That’s really nice!
That’s really nice!
@proverb311031 and …
@proverb311031 and u forgot that the gasses we create would build up in the dome thus killing us all lol like in Mexico… ya u seen whats happened those mountains are bastards!
@VidsOfOurLabor You could just put into place sliding panels to release gasses, also you do always have to have them closed as well.

this is great for …
this is great for sustainable buildings
If they were …
If they were suitable for 3D solar cells?
@md22mint lol so …
@md22mint lol so the big money interests that bought it can sell your all of their old still in inventory then also get you to pay for latests model when they release it finally.
That is an epic idea

there are a few …
there are a few flaws in your suggestion. first: hurricanes, tornados, and essentially weather. second: the migration of birds and flight would be affected. and lastly international flights.
we could use this …
we could use this technology to build a dome over our country, while we benefit for sloar energy and hold out the gasses that would pollute our country.
Cause thats about …
Cause thats about how long it takes for the resistors to all die away. Then the next generation makes it ubiquitous.
Why is it that …
Why is it that after they develop the technology it will take about 50 years before it gets to the general public?
That`s super cool!. …

this is …
this is revolutionary
Which is why you …
Which is why you layer stack them on top of eachother the cells which filter a specific wave type so that a single cell produces 85% more energy.
This could SOOO be …
This could SOOO be used for mobile phones, like imagine you have that tape all over the phone, and monitor…Cool
Silicon PV cells …
Silicon PV cells too only absorb small portion of the white light spectrum. The rest becomes heat of the cells, instead of electric energy, and gets wasted.
Law of diminishing …
Law of diminishing returns, r2dxhate. Far better one layer that is 100% absorbtive and converts 100% in one step.
so if they’re …
so if they’re transparent then cant u overlap them as many times as u want and make even more power? imagine having flexible transparent solar panels all over ur car or electric bicycle.
I cant wait for …
I cant wait for these to start mass producing. Adding a whole bunch to the chevy volt car would increase the appeal of that vehicle
